Hillborne!
You’re probably getting the best of all Riv models.

Tim,
I do quite a lot of wrenching at our local co-op, which is down the street
from a Sally Ann mission and a bit farther from another mission. We get
some homeless, and lots of folks who live on the margins. You might be
shocked at how bad some of the bikes are, yet they still get ridden mil
I got a great set of well-used Redwing fireman boots at Goodwill ($10) a few
years ago, and had the soles replaced with a soft flat Vibram sole ($80). They
fit my narrow 13 feet really well, and the laced-in zippers ($35 when I had to
replace them) make for the easiest boot-donning of my life.
Hello Tim. Good on ya mate (https://tinyurl.com/Speight-s -- sorry, I like
this commercial) for your volunteer intentions. I've been volunteering with
a group of cyclists to fix bikes for the homeless at a local homeless
services n-f-p (The Rock at Noon on 2nd Street) every last Friday of the
month
Hey joe sorry didn’t see your PM. This looks great. (And GEORGE thanks for
the offer! but wanting silver rather than black). I’ll PM you for payment
details.

You might consider buying a bulk roll of brake housing. The cheap stuff works
for just about anything (except dick brakes, I'd say they're on their own
there), friction shifting is great with it, all manner of brakes of course, and
index isn't so terrible with it.
Enjoy!

I'm soliciting advice from the group. I volunteered to do some bike repair at
an event designed for helping homeless folks here in Tucson. I have always
described myself as a "mediocre" mechanic, but in reality, I've built up 3 Rivs
and do almost all of my own repairs and my bikes all work just
Got one you can have just for the asking. A black Profile Design with the
stem and clamp sizes you spec'd, with approximately 30 degree rise angle,
but rather long - about 130mm or so. If you want it PM me for shipping
details, etc.

Dimension stems come in many lengths, angles and clamp diameters. Usually
under $30 too.

I've seen damaged decals with clear coat on top several times. It's quite
common. Please don't test it out on your frame by sliding it back and
forth in the clamp. :)

Hi everybody, I'm looking for a 1 1/8" threadless stem w/ 25.4mm clamp,
preferably some length (90-120mm), and some rise/drop angle. Condition
isn't terribly important as it's going on a beater Xtracycle conversion

These days, the decal has clear coat on top.

The risk (to me) is the seat tube decal. If somebody moves the frame in
the clamp, the decal can get smeared. When you are all alone in a workshop
that's all on you, and I'm sure you are careful. Some of us
Can't wait to see this built up!
If I did a custom Rivendell, it would be similar. Stripped down, stout
frameset with a long top tube. The major differences would be cantilever
studs and much shorter chainstays.

Nice!
I always really enjoy seeing Riv's with regular flat bars, instead of the
pullbacks that most have.

Price Drop. $475.00 shipped and black seat collar not shown in pictures.
Would make an excellent city commuter bike w/o the bling of a high end Riv.

I don’t know which to admire more ... the bike or the workshop !
Laing - your taste and mine in bikes appear to be very closely aligned.
Please let us know how well the Compass centerpull brakes clear the 48mm
tires (I’m concerned about getting the tire through them when installing
the wheel.)
Thanks!
All of the accolades for Riv's comfort and handling are not overstated, the
ride is amazing.

The frame angles are supposed to be 72 deg seat tube and 71.5 deg head
tube. The top tube angle is 6 deg.
Not sure how much head tube extension there is - somewhere around an inch.
The steerer tube is threaded and I will fill whatever gap is not taken up
by the brake cable hanger with spacers -
Laing,
gorgeous custom and I love the use of Campy. I'm interested to hear why you
chose to not have any rack or fender mounting. Weight? Weatherproofing?

Great report and very nice looking custom. 3 questions:
* What are the frame angles?
* How much head tube extension is there? Looks like more than 1"
* Are you cutting the steerer tube flush at the top or are you going to
extend the steerer tube and use spacers?
